You're welcome to start your own "ask a fat engineer" page. Other people don't have to cater their topics to your personal interests.

Here, you can start an "ask a tall engineer" page with some comments from me: office chairs are too small and I have to shift posture constantly; communal desks are too low; and there's nowhere high enough to try a standing desk.

Nice, why the hostility? Nobody said anything about catering .

I was curious on the importance of defining the individual as female , but leaving other non engineering characteristics out?

> Nice, why the hostility?

Because your original comment wasn't innocent or genuine, and you already know the answer to it. It's a comment that gets made every. single. time. something like this comes up, has been answered a million times before, and it's not worth pandering to.

> Or maybe you can't justify the value of simply stating female in the topic heading.

Stop it already: point is it should be OK for anyone to start any group they want but some are bound to be more interesting than others.

You are starting to annoy even me and I'm definitely a non-"SJW". (although I do care and will sometimes make an effort to fix things, just not in a "SJW" style blame-society-and-all-white-men way)

Sounds like you got some issues if you are letting someone annoy you, in a forum where you are not forced to participate.

So according to you the point is that it should be OK for anyone to start any group they want , however its not ok to ask any question.

On a good note despite your hypocrisy on allowing any subject to be created while controlling the questions that can be asked, you atleast have been consistent.

You have been consistent in making personal attacks and dodging the questions on the value of stating "Female" engineer. Good job!

I never said it was wrong to start the thread with that title, I just questioned the purpose or value to include female the in title.
